B1.1 MICROSCOPES Flashcards
light microscopes uses what to form an image
light
what can a light microscope magnify up to
objects up to 2000x
what can light microscopes be used on
living objects
what’s a light microscopes resolving power
200nm
advantage of a light microscope
cheap/ easy to carry
what’s the equation for magnification
magnification= size of image
——————-
size of real object
what do electron microscopes use to form an object
electrons
what can electron microscopes magnify up to
x2,000,000
what’s the electron microscopes resolving power
0.2nm
what cells can light microscopes be used on
animal cells, onion cells, elodea cells, algal cells
why are onion cells not green
onion bulbs don’t contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis due to being underground and don’t receive light
